Czechia and Italy join to help Ivory Coast migrants

The Czech Republic and Italy are preparing a joint project to help migrants
from Ivory Coast, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka told journalists after
meeting his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni on Thursday.

The Czech Republic is to contribute with roughly one million euros to the
project, helping to improve the living conditions of the people who are
returned from other countries to Ivory Coast.

The Czech Republic has been against the redistribution of refugees from
the very beginning and has only accepted 12 of the 2,000 it had been
designated by the EU.
